    Preliminary evaluation of cured leaf residues of common pesticides used in dark air-cured and dark fire-cured tobacco

    BAILEY W.A.; RODGERS J.C.; HILL R.A.; RICHMOND M.D.
    University of Kentucky, Research & Education Center, Princeton, KY, U.S.A.
    Pesticide residue data for dark tobacco is limited compared to data available for Burley and flue-cured tobacco. It is also unknown if the curing process (air-curing or fire-curing) affects pesticide residues that remain in the cured leaf. Pesticide ...
